To tune the guitar:
1.Play a known Low E pitch. A piano, a tuning fork, or an electronic computer file will work.
2.Play an open
3.Adjust the tuning peg until the pitch of the open 6th string sounds exactly like the known Low E source.
—If the string is tuned too high, back the tension off and retune the string back up to match the Low E pitch. Now the other strings can be tuned to the 6th string.
4.Next, the 5th string needs to be tuned. The tone of the 5th string must be matched to the tone of the 6th string by playing the same note on each string, one after another. This is done by playing the 6th string while it is being pressed (fretted) at the 5th fret, and immediately after, playing the open 5th string.
5.Listen to the two tones. As the two notes are still resonating, adjust the tuning peg of the 5th string until the two notes have matching tones. Remember to tune “up.”
6.Perform the same tuning steps on the 4th and 3rd strings.
7. When tuning the 2nd string, the 3rd string should be fretted at the 4th fret instead of the 5th fret.
8.Tune the 1st string in the same manner as the 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings.
